mapped out.

from the moment you're born,
your life is mapped out,
things you're expected to do,
things you have to learn about.

go to school, get good grades
graduate then get a job,
earn a lots and lots of money,
so you don't become a slob.

find love, then get married
in a wonderful ceremony,
have a baby together,
like it's your only destiny.

what if you don't want this?
you want something new,
but you cant, it's too late
your life's already through.
